this is entirely down to Platini.
a lot of our players are now on reduced basic's due to ffp. the rest is made up of bonus's that can't be counted when being judged for ffp. one bonus will be appearances so say Silva is on 200k, that gets us in trouble but then he signs a new 70k with add ons, great. jimmy knows he is less likely a starter than the others, if fernado cost 30m he'll be in the team at the expense of jimmy. so the lad stays on 70k. Liverpool offer two things, a starting place in centre mid and 150k guaranteed. platini dare not attack the mourners.over 5 years, the last 5 of his career that's a lot for jimmy to throw away. game time and cash. no trophies but he's got them saftly tucked away.
How many games has milner played this year bob?
To the outside, it looks that way, however, a great deal of those new payments stem from success on the pitch and trophies won, he's got more chance of catching the ROCHDALE ghoneria strain than winning jack at Liverpool!!!!
